Self-organized first-order transition from foreshock to mainshock in earthquake sequences induced by heat, fluid pressure, and porosity
Takehito Suzuki, Hiroshi Matsukawa
Earthquake cycles are studied by taking into account the interactions among slip, fluid pressure, temperature, and porosity on the fault planes, which are known to play a crucial r…
Static Friction Coefficient Depends on the External Pressure and Block Shape due to Precursor Slip
Wataru Iwashita, Hiroshi Matsukawa, Michio Otsuki
Amontons' law states that the maximum static friction force on a solid object is proportional to the loading force and is independent of the apparent contact area. This law indicat…
Novel Friction Law for the Static Friction Force based on Local Precursor Slipping
Yu Katano, Ken Nakano, Michio Otsuki +1
The sliding of a solid object on a solid substrate requires a shear force that is larger than the maximum static friction force. It is commonly believed that the maximum static fri…
Atomic scale friction between clean graphite surfaces
Katsuyoshi Matsushita, Hiroshi Matsukawa, Naruo Sasaki
We investigate atomic scale friction between clean graphite surfaces by using molecular dynamics. The simulation reproduces atomic scale stick-slip motion and low frictional coeffi…
